When the body utilises oxygen, it produces oxidative stress (waste) that damages cells. A diet high in nutrients (premium fuel), means the brain is nourished and protected from the effects of oxidative stress. A diet high in processed foods, refined carbohydrates and sugars, are harmful to the brain promoting inflammation and oxidative stress.
